Oh how did I miss this?

Yes...the old hammer is here and the work begins.

Nice start indeed.

That looks like a great start to your project. Well cast body too. This may seem like a silly question, but how are the front wheels held in place? I have project that will need a similar axle set up and I am at odds as to how to keep the front wheels on the axle. John

Well...........umm, I am glad YOU are building it.

I will admit in front of all here that I ruined mine.

Too heavy with the Dremel. This is the nice explanation.

Sorry sir...I will get another one and try again. And no, I cannot fix this one.

Think of that Rolling Stones song "Shattered". And there was no happy "Shooby" after it :)

Hey David!

Your '40 coupe looks like it is being built to run at Bonneville Salt Flats.

Low and fast like the SoCal belly tanker!

Way cool my friend!

Can't wait to follow it's progression through the build.

Thanks David!

I will keep an eye out for that surprise!!!!! :grin:

That chassis you have built under that '40 looks great!

I may have to try my hand at brass scratch buildin'.

Keep up the great work!

You are definitely an inspiration!

I like to build the low slung later vintage asphalt Modifieds - it is sort of a regional thing, although I have seen similar cars that ran in other parts of the country... In any case the later vintage asphalt mods look very different than the vintage dirt cars. Super wide tires on all four corners and just mean-looking and low-slung.

Glad I was able to add to your interest in the vintage modifieds... For a great source, there are lots of these kinds of builds on the old board archive - mostly 1/24, but I do remember a couple of 1/32nds as well... I have found lots of inspiration on the HRW board(s)! Search them out if you can.

Here is a link (hope it works) to a pic of a vintage asphalt coupe - not only very low but *setback* - the front of the hood/radiator at/behind the front axle centerline...

That #92 looks like one of the cars that ran at Wall Stadium in New Jersey. Great looking car!

I'm still staggering that Harry knows a Rolling Stones song. In fact, I'm in tatters.
